The Neighborhood

Eco tourism runs this country. Beautiful every month of the year. YES. Wet season as well as dry. Highest concentration of bio diversity per sq meter in the world, comparable with ecology of Madagascar.
5 minutes to the beach, without the harassment of millions of beach touts trying to scam tourists, or 50 cars fighting for parking space in front of the beach. Enjoy the tranquillity of a small town beach vibe.

Live the Pura Vida life.

Getting around

Walking is a good option, with everything nearby. Do as locals do and bike it, or rent a car and shoot straight over from the airport. Another way to get here is with Tamarindo Airport Transfer Services. Car parking is safe & street side outside the compound by the security guard house. There is also bicycle parking within compound. Flag down a taxi in the town center to get around or get back to the condo after dinner/grocery shopping.

We liked our rest very much, villa is so nice and very good, good territory around and good location. Carmen very helpful and always try to help you and give good advance and always reply for message. We liked this rest, thank you Carmen!

The condo was very nice, clean and a good location. Perfect size for a couple or family with up to 2 kids. Short 5 minute walk to the beach and the center of town. Although it was on one edge of Tamarindo, the restaurants on the other end were only a 15-20 minute walk.

The unit is on the top floor of the complex and on the end, so only one bordering (website hidden) in both bedrooms and the main floor was great and cooled the place down very quick. A nice pool right near the unit as well. We didn't use the kitchen much except the blender for drinks but it seemed to be decently stocked for cooking.

We had issues with construction noise, running water and electricity multiple times, and an issue with the washer that made for a pretty frustrating experience but to her credit Carmen was very responsive, apologetic and gave us a partial refund. I would have given this four stars without the issues and two stars without a refund. This is a nice place to stay in Tamarindo and based on other reviews I imagine it was just bad timing with the issues.

The place was clean and the environment was friendly and relaxed. The Wi-Fi connection upstairs isn't that strong but besides that everything was good. It was a home away from home and I enjoyed my time there.

Spent my honeymoon in Costa Rica at Carmen's place...her and her staff were very easy to communicate with and very accommodating her place was very clean and stylish...really close to town and all restaurants and stores...would definitely recommend her place...thanks again!

Incredible condo! Carmen was so easy to make arrangements with leading up to my stay and, upon arrival, the condo was even more beautiful than I could ever have imagined. It had two floors that included two large bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. There's also a living room/kitchen area with a comfortable futon and a television. Everything was very clean and tidy. The condo also has very effective AC, which came in handy after long days on the beach. The (gorgeous) beach is only a 5 or so minute walk from the condo. Cannot recommend staying here enough--a fantastic deal and a great apartment.

The place is great! Very close to the beach and town center. Supermarkets are not far etiher. The aprtment is very clean and comfortable. The procedure of getting the keys from managment office went very fast and easy. We had a wonderfull time. thank you, Carmen. Carmen was very, very fast to respond to all our questions before the visit and during...

The only minor issue we have were outside of the apartment. The complex tennats have lots of dogs, so often at the evening we had to listen to the loud barking from the various sites of the complex. but this never happened late at night and only bothered us first night, since all other evenings we spent in the town or enjoying the evening walk by the ocean.
